Nigma will play with OG in the semifinals of the upper qualifying bracket for The International from Europe

Half of the top bracket matches of the closed qualifiers at The International from Europe are behind. The qualifiers were opened by Nigma and Hellbear Smashers, followed by OG and ViKin.gg.

Quite unexpectedly, both confrontations brought intrigue. Both Nigma and OG lost the first map, but managed to win the streak, taking the two remaining ones.

Now the European giants will face a face-to-face confrontation for reaching the final of the upper bracket. We will watch this match tomorrow.

As for Hellbear Smashers and ViKin.gg, both teams still have chances. They will continue their performance at the bottom of the bracket: HB will face the Ghost Frogs, and ViKin.gg will play against the Chicken Fighters.

China's closed qualifiers for The International 10 kicked off on July 7th and will end on July 10th. 14 teams from Europe will play for a spot in The International 10.
